What are you looking forward to in 2016?

[Dimoxynil]

that made me crack,

I'm gonna get my head shaved, I lost my temples when I was 15(just woke up one day and had no hair happened so fast), things slowed down when I was 18 now at 25 I'm starting to visibly see my crown, I can still hide my baldness with super maintenance but it's not worth it anymore, somehow combing over and wasting time in front of a mirror brings me down more, at least having shaved head would by my choice.

Still no cure but I'm glad my confidence and self esteem isn't effected anymore, been following for 2 years(1 year ghost, 1 year user)

I tip my imaginary hat to the tenacity of people who had been here for more than that.



Some rumination,

I know I can still put out a decent look but meh, screw this I'm done, gonna work on building a better body for my head.

Lol, you don't have hair loss. I really should start posting photos to show people what real hair loss looks like

[redfeeniks]

I know what you mean bro, but the slow loss I've been dealing with followed by loss of hair and recovery(less each time, pneumonia,malaria,jaundice) put good level of stress on me, don't be fooled, my hair are so thin(strand wise) it's hard to count them(fallen ones).

I had thicker hair than this, barbers use to complain on how thick it was.

The 21st Cen Cures Act should eliminate phase 3 of a clinical trial if the drug proves safe and effective theu the first two phases. Could reduce time to market by a couple years.

Wow, that's amazing! I really hope that it passes this year, and that it will take effect shortly after

You have so much hair it's legitimately difficult for me to fathom how and why you took the time to create an account on a hairloss forum. Sorry for the other medical issues you've encountered, but you don't have MPB to any degree. If anything, I'd say you're closer to having some type of body dysmorphia. Shaving your head would be an act of pure lunacy fit for a straight jacket.

Are you serious? Look man the hair you're seeing have receded back up to my crown especially on the right side, I was rocking M shape forehead that has turned into a V, Sorry if you have it worse but don't go disrespecting someone with a better hairline, My dad is NW7, his whole side of the family is bald.

Here is a chart for you though.

Give him a break... with it combed up you can definitely see some receding, so it's smart of him to be cautious and try to maintain what he has. You look great with the short hair though man, I would shave it back down.

Thanks Bro <3 They're probably trolling.

I'm disrespecting you by commenting on how much hair you have? Don't make me laugh. Okay so you have a widow's peak when you pull your hair back with a comb. I have friends whose natural hairline bears a similar resemblance and they're not balding at all. In your recent pic from two weeks ago you look like a normal dude with a LOT of hair to spare and you're talking to people who are almost all much higher norwoods with legit bald spots. I didn't mean to offend but live your life dude, you're hair is extremely thick and dense and thus, shaving it would be dumb.

[redfeeniks]

I hear you man, what I'm saying is I've had much more than that. No Hard feelings, couple of years I'm gonna be looking like my dad(he lost most of his in late twenties).

We're all on the same boat.

His temples are gone, he's clearly loosing hair. He has a lot of hair left, and it's thick, but he's lost the temples.

Not all of us, I use propecia and Rogaine and have only gained hair since. And I'll use dut if I have to. You can do the same to maintain, the high Norwoods here aren't in the same boat as us at all.

Come back when you're nw4 and lets see how you feel. The low NWs like us are definitely not in the same boat. Most people don't even realize a nw2 has hairloss and a nw3 isn't considered the bald guy by society. Just wait till you have extensive loss and we'll see how well that self confidence holds up when girls look at you in disgust. I see it with my nw5 brother all the time. Meanwhile I have a beautiful wife at nw2-2.5 and nobody has ever commented on my hair ever.

There is a huge difference, this is why I take risky ******* drugs to stop it here.

Yeah, but this isn't a competition man. Every person has a different mind set, different vulnerabilities and insecurities. A NW2 may feel even more depressed within in their mind than a NW5 and so on... there are a lot of different factors. My friend is 35 and has NO hair loss and is the most depressed person I have ever seen. The norwood scale is NOT in direct correlation to a person's level of depression or anxiety.

I get it man, I'm nowhere near a nw4 and I'm still obsessed over my hair, I'm just stating the truth, people treat you differently once you lose most of your hair.

[redfeeniks]

Honestly It's depressing to see all these posts when everyone starts from scratch all the way up nw7 also I've been a moderator on a forum and this has gotten so derailed it's a shame.

I have NW7 friend, Got Happily married a few month back, has been NW7 for past 4 years and it didn't even put a dent on his confidence.

You guys seriously think NW1, 2 or People with AA(whose hair eventually grow back in most cases) don't feel what happens to them? Quit your whining at least I'm brave enough to accept where I'm at, your bullshit isn't gonna magically convince anybody here.

You know when I actually started to notice my hair go? when my mum pointed it out to me, before it I didn't give a crap about my hair or even know what MPB was, I went through a personal hell even though no one mocked or made fun of me. To this day I have weird nightmares, I've gone through AA with 4 inch circle baby ass skin on the back of my head thinking I was done and the only thought in my head was it's too soon! and I couldn't do a damn about it! it took over an year for it to come back.

What you think I didn't consider taking drugs? I would've taken them a long time ago if it wasn't for the nasty side effects and at that point I saw no point having hair that I couldn't even comb or feel confident in.

And honestly WTF? Women? Here is a piece of advice, No woman is good for you who puts value on the number of hair you have. Have some self respect.

Seriously if anyone else wants to play victim just drop a PM, stop derailing the topic.

truth... but f*ck people! I am going to live on an island and fish all day and marry a very mediocre woman!
